About 100 people are expected to be laid off by NBCUniversal in the next few days, according to a person familiar with the situation, part of a broader series of job cuts over the past few months that will reach about 500 by the end of this week.

By the time the job cuts are concluded, they will account for about 1.5% of NBCUniversal's workforce, said the person familiar with the situation.
